Default In the Market, Suggestions?

I need help choosing a car to buy. I had a 2004 CrewCab Fx4 and i have a couple bikes and a bagged ranger. Im looking to sell everything and start over with an older 4wd truck and car.

Insurance company is not going to let me have a newer V8 ride so i have been looking at some alternatives. Looking to spend around 10g, no more than 13g's. My cars of interest are a Mr2Turbo, 240 w/rb or sr, or 3rd gen rx7. Just wanting something quick(i.e. 13secs or so) pretty reliable and stylish.

Would like to buy the car already modified and just wanted some extra comfort on what to look for and what to stay away from. Any help will be appreciated.

we all know the V8 dont have any balls, and you got a V6 that screams Chick car?





Dont buy knew unless your ready to get reamed, buy something that is 2 or 3 years old and with ultra low miles. Chances are that you will pay damm near 50% less than new.

Here is a dyno from the sky, not even 230whp. Not to say that the sky isnt awesome of course..

Definitely just the 10grand to spend. After selling all my vehicles i should have something around 6 - 8 thousand left and im going to take out a person loan of no more than 12grand, i have a pretty good bank, and since you usually cant get a loan on older cars.

So im trying to spend around 16 on a car and truck. I have to in sight right now a 91 Mr2turbo for 10,500 73k, kit, rims, exhaust, lsd or a 1993 300zx 107k, 10grand, stillen front, rims, and he says some other work.
